Firstly lets look at the home screen and all the major resources you can use and how to find out where they are.
1. Top Right showing 59 for Level 59 - This indicator shows your current level and the red 'circle' around the number indicates how close you are to levelling up. The banner in the centre of the circle indicates which Legion you belong to. I for example have gone with the Emperors Children as you might expect.
2. The skull icon to the right of the Level Indicator - THIS IS YOUR CURRENT GLORY LEVEL Glory is critical to the third legion is glory. You win 5 for every victory over a non player base and ten for every victory over a player base. You can add extra glory per victory by achieving the 'bonus objectives'. e..g 'Achieve a Victory whilst not using Beacons'. You can also lose 5 glory whenever your base is defeated or one of your outposts or power bases is captured by the foul traitors.
Next lets look at the screen you can use to upgrade your heroes from within the Scriptorium
Legion Favour - This is indicated by the Helmet with the blue Roman Style crest. - This is used to upgrade certain troops types using the research buildings. It is also used to upgrade your heroes at the Scriptorium.
